• Weblogg-ed » What’s Changed? (2009 Version)

  Miksi koulun muutos uudenlaiseen kulttuuriin on niin vaikeaa? Tässä blogi-kirjoituksessa vastataan viitaten kirjaan: I’m in the midst of a great book by Allan Collins and Richard Halverson titled Rethinking Education in the Age of Technology, and they spend about 20 pages writing about why the system is so resistant to change. The bottom line, they say, is that “teaching is an inevitably conservative practice.”

  • I’m in the midst of a great book by Allan Collins and Richard Halverson titled Rethinking Education in the Age of Technology, and they spend about 20 pages writing about why the system is so resistant to change. The bottom line, they say, is that “teaching is an inevitably conservative practice.”

    
    

    When embedded in institutions that protect instruction from systemic change, a conservative practice is reinforced by a conserving institution. It is difficult for teachers to implement substantially changed programs when they already have dedicated years adapting to what the traditional system of school offers (36).

• Networked Learning Design - Occasional rants - I was wrong: games ARE an alternative vision.

  "games are an utterly different vision of learning, separated from e-learning by a huge and uncrossable chasm"

  Tags: games, learning, sometu, education

  • - By Tarmo Toikkanen
  • • E-learning designers believe that people learn through "content". They assume that encountering content will lead people to change their behaviour. Games designers believe that people learn through "experience". They assume that having experiences - doing and feeling things - leads to change in behaviour.
    • E-learning designers believe we must be "nice" to our learners in case they go away. They assume that the relationship between the course and the learner is a weak one so that if there's any significant challenge, the learner will give up. Games designers believe that we can challenge people and they'll stick with it. Indeed, it is progressive challenges that form much of the motivation for gamers.
    • E-learning designers believe that we learn step by step (hence linearity, page-turning etc.). Game designers believe we absorb lots of things all at once (hence HUDs, complex information screens etc.).
    • E-learning designers believe that learning experiences are emotionally neutral (in spite of all that's written about the importance of emotion in learning). Games designers always seek an "angle", an attitude.

• Finnish Ontology Library Service ONKI

  ONKI ontology library service contains ontologies (including vocabularies and thesauri) used in Finnish on a national level, and services for creating, publishing, and using them cost-efficiently. Ontologies are conceptual models, that identifies the concepts of a domain and contain machine "understandable" descriptions of the relations between the concepts. Ontologies can be used e.g. for describing content in a more specific and consistent way, which makes it possible to create more intelligent applications, such as MuseumFinland, HealthFinland and CultureSampo, based on such precise knowledge.

  • I think Google Wave is something I’d like to have open all the time, as I see it as a new potential variety of communication for the web. And if I have it open, I don’t need another service, like email, to notify me about new messages. But I don’t have it open all the time now because usage among people I know is too sporadic.
